Anthony could never possibly be prepared for the fact that Mark will ever be able to make it to the meeting.After all, his entire plan for exposing Mariella was just because he wanted to keep Marcus busy with the problems related to his in-laws and his wife.After all, all he wanted was to keep him as distant from the family business as he could, and that's why he had asked Nina to send Connor to deliver those papers to Mark's office.He had also done so, according to Nina, because she was the one who was in direct contact with Connor.Then how was it possible, that he was present there after leaving his only wife alone with her grandmother, after she was still trying to hurt her because of his grandson?He knew it has already cost him a fortune to extract the exact part of their conversation where she was confessing about the fact that she woild never step back from her attempts to create a misunderstanding between the married couple.Also he has made sure to make two more copies a
These words from Mark were the last thread that had unraveled Anthony's patience, and also the reason for the complete outlash from him.Already, he was trying to tackle his fear that Tim Guolong might already have blurted everything out in front of him, but there was no time to think about that right now.Right now, the most important thing which his attention should be on, was to figure out who had the remaining fifty percent of the shares… because this was the reason he had killed Matteo in the first place.He was aware of the fact that if someone from the Rover family died without transferring their shares to anyone, then after a period of five years, the shares would automatically go to the person who held the majority of the shares at the moment.Otherwise, they would simply go to a trust, and the company would run with the existing shares on the surface.And in both these cases, he didn't have to bother about anything.So, he spoke looking back at Mark;"Oh, really! I don't kno
Cassie had fallen asleep shortly after the car had left the villa. It seemed like she hadn't even realized how exhausted she had gotten by the events of the day until she found herself in the warm interior of the car. The rhythmic hum of the car engine, combined with the gentle swaying motion, had lulled her into a deep sleep. She had taken her phone out of her purse, probably to notify Mark, but her eyes had closed on their own before she could even type anything. The bodyguard in the co- passenger seat checked the rearview mirror and found that she was in a deep sleep, completely unaware of what was going on around her. Her head was tilted to the side as she leaned on the window, and hair had become a little disheveled.The bodyguard turned around and lunged from his seat to reach out towards her. He easily snatched the phone from her grasp. He inspected it carefully, before glancing at Cassie's face and remarking with a smirk,"I guess you won't be needing this any longer, wil
Anthony knew that he had lost the battle he had spent so much time, money and dedication preparing for.But there was still one thing in his favor, commonly known as determination. It was this feeling of determination that had been present in his heart since eternity, and had grown gradually over a period of time with his desire to exact his revenge from the Rovers.And this was the reason why he was not ready to listen, or act according to the circumstances that were playing out in front of him.Instead, he decided to try his luck one more time, as he opened his mouth;"Huh! Just because you have power and a position in society, do you really think that you can buy anyone? How can we believe that Guolong is not your man, and you have not brought him along for a false testimony?Because till now, whatever statements you have presented are just based on an assumption where you have painted me to be the villain of your story, the killer of your brother… But reality and the judiciary nee
It was the first time in Mark's entire life that the anger burning inside his heart was not ready to be calmed down, by any means.Just when he was seeing everything falling into place and it looked like everything was going to be okay, there was still something that was making him uneasy. And even for the emotional turmoil inside his heart, Anthony was the only person whom he could find at the place of the culprit.This was why, he was not ready to listen to any of his explanations, nor was he ready to let anyone talk to him.And on the other hand, Anthony thought he was getting a little closer to starting a completely new game of manipulation, seeing the old man who once used to have a soft corner for him. However, he was left to burn in the raging fire of anger, after noticing that Mark wasn't going to allow him to speak to Maxwell privately, either.Hence, he had to choose the extreme way that he really didn't want to go for– but now… now, Mark had not left any other option for
Mark's statement was enough to make everyone shake like a single leaf left on the bare branch of an autumn tree, which was afraid of falling down with just a gust of wind.But before they could have come up with something that could be even vaguely helpful for their case, Mark spoke again;"And since you have decided to cheat my family– not only today, but you all have actually been doing this for so long. That's why, I will be setting up an investigation committee for all of you.And until the investigation gets over, not even a single one of you is allowed to use any of your powers in the company-""But Marcus, how can you doubt us? I know whatever we were about to do was wrong, but try to think from our perspective too. Then you'll realize that we really didn't have any other option.If we hadn't supported Anthony now, then we would be forced to surrender our shares for the price he would have offered to us-""Oh really, uncle Halter? I guess, you didn't have any choice when you we
Mark's POV:I don't know what has gotten into me, as I have never been this emotional ever.But seeing Anthony trying to pull the same stunt, because of which I first lost Matteo…my brother… my best friend, it was just unbearable for me to digest.I know things would have played out differently if only I was able to keep my calm, and just hand him in to the police for the charges of fraudulence against them. That way, he would have witnessed the real charges of murder in the court itself, when it would be too late for him to play any tricks to save himself.But then again, I can't just sit back and watch him trying to harm my grandfather– or any member of my family for my matter.And in any case, what has happened is already done, and now I can't undo anything. But I am surely going to make him regret every decision of his, every action which he has taken against my family– be it big or small.Because when it comes to justice, I have always looked up to the judicial system of the cou
Mark's POV:With my heart throbbing in my chest, I open the tracking app, thanking my stars that I had installed a tracking device on Cassie's phone.To a certain degree, the credit for this also goes to grandpa. Yes, I was not completely enthusiastic about him coming to stay with me and Cassie– not because I didn't enjoy his company, but because I knew very well that his primary reason was not to spend time with us, but to perform a spot check on our security arrangements.But thanks to his presence, Mariella had also behaved to some extent, and while leaving, he had advised me to hire someone to follow Cassie and take care of her, every moment.Even though I did agree with his suggestion, there were two major problems. First, that I didn't trust anyone enough to be as careful about Cassie as someone from the family, nor did I believe that Mariella wouldn't be able to manipulate them as well.But secondly, I knew that Cassie wouldn't be comfortable with someone following her all da
